For many of us, we don’t know where we’d be without the Premier League season. The summer months are spent feeling a little lost until it all kicks off again in August and each season we become blessed with more live coverage than ever before. 

And this year is no different. Across the season, there are hundreds of games you can tune in to, as the biggest teams fight for supremacy and a number of others battle it out for Premier League survival. But where can you watch all the action as it happens? 

Here at GOAL, we've all the details to ensure you don't miss a moment of the action.

As you can see, there are a few options, with different sports subscription services having various volumes of access to different games. In the UK, domestic rights to watch live Premier League matches are split across two platforms: Sky Sports and TNT Sports, and both have rights to show the English top flight throughout the 2025-26 season. 

As usual, the BBC also continues to provide highlights through its Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2 programming later in the evenings over the weekend.
